Captain Bun Lim, a penal officer with Siem Reap city police, said the group was led by Mr Jiang, owner of the online gambling den called “City Impression Entertainment World”. Cap Lim said the other three men worked as a manager, supervisor and IT technician.

He said all four were arrested at about 11pm on Thursday after a prosecutor led provincial and city police to raid the online gambling den in the city’s Svay Dangkum commune.
